I don't have a digital camera or cell phone. I'm loving all the ones that have been posted so far!
    I have 24 and it is bulging. I do not think I can fit an envelope in it. I will have to put the zip loc baggie folded on top of the blocks or it will not fit.

    The postage depends on the weight and the distance, that is what I was told.

    Looking for feedback everyone. Should I continue or change the background?
    I love it. I hope I get one of these too. Mine seem so plain compared to everyone else's.

    :cry:
